Finally!! Drake got some competition! All over the websites and underground mixtapes all we keep hearing about is Drake! Now, don’t get it tangled like wild hair after sex: I digs Drake, but for a while it seemed as though he was in a category all his own. But there’s this new kid that I GUARANTEE will start the new “who’ better” convo. I mean, no one can just be hot, right? Somebodies got to be better. But it’s not always fair. It was NEVER fair to comapare Jigga to Nas or Eminem to Biggie, but people do it. I strongly believe theres going to be a “who’s better” competition among Drake and Big Sean because they’re both extremely young, both are backed by the hottest rappers out now, (Drake is backed by Lil Wayne and Big Sean is backed by the Louise Vuitton Don), and they both have mentally ill lyrics!!! Big Sean hails out of Detroit and kind of looks like a young Fabolous. He got his start by freestyling on local Detroit radio stations. One day he heard Kanye was at one of the stations and since he had built up such a good rapport with the station from his freestyling days, they allowed him in the studio to meet Ye. Upon meeting Kanye he spat a freestyle and from there on out, he was sign to GOOD records. Big Sean is super playful with his wordplay but showing skills and his hunger to be noticed when he raps lyrics such as “My city like ‘we need another hero'/I’m tired of playing the background like Tito/ Jackass niggas remind me a of Steve-o/ I put them in their place til I remind them of Deebo” or when he begins his mannish bragging on the perks of being a celebrity, “She know me and my boys are up and coming/ And she’s just trying to get us up and cumming”. I think this dude has massive potential to go mainstream, but right now his only fans are hip hop heads. Lets not forget, Lupe Fiasco had the same buzz and while he is known, he still hasn’t reached that superstar status but still has a loyal following. After hearing Big Seans mixtape, I’ve too have become a loyal follower. Please check out Big Sean at Uknowbigsean.com and don’t forget to download his mixtape while your at it (And although this album is on itunes, don’t buyit. Sean allows you download the album from his website for free)
"Only two can give you life: The Judge and God. But only one can judge me and that's my God, so Imma live my life like fuck what you thought" Big Sean
